Hello @Christian Moisan 

You can restore the CommServe DB from tape following the below guide.

Thank you,

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I don’t want to restore the commserve DB, just a specific system and DB I would pick to test if restoring from tape works. No need to restore anything else, just the OS and DB.

Thanks!

No worries. To restore from the Tape copy you can perform a restore as you normally would.

You can either view the backup history on the client and change the copy precedence in the Browse\Restore options or you can view the backups from the Tape Copy and Browse\Restore from there.
